The Navy plans to purchase fifty-four (54) ADEPT units over the next year, for a total contract value of $5,000,000. These systems will be deployed on Navy Aegis” destroyers and cruisers to support the AN/SPY-1 radar in air defense and ballistic missile defense missions. These systems will join the 130 ADEPT units already deployed and in everyday use by the Navy. This contract adds to the engineering backlog currently in place. Mikros’ backlog is now at an all-time high of approximately $8,000,000. “We have been looking forward to this award for some time.” said Mikros President Tom Meaney; “It’s a major corporate milestone and validates all of the hard work we’ve done on ADEPT development. We are delighted that the Navy has chosen to move forward with ADEPT production.”

The new contract is the first Full Rate Production contract for the third-generation ADEPT system. A low rate initial production (LRIP) run of three units was recently completed to validate the new design. The production systems will be assembled at the recently-expanded Mikros Manufacturing and Depot facility in Largo FL. Mark Laureigh, Mikros Director of Operations, who runs the Largo facility, said “We are ready here in Florida to execute this contract. We are putting assembly and quality control systems in place to ensure on-time delivery of high-quality equipment to the Navy.”
